For one week, our PhD-candidates went to Thüringerberg in Austria for a working retreat. They were all able to work extensively on their new publications (so keep an eye out for new papers from TUM Landslide Group!) as well as contributing to… [read more]

Last week Saskia Eppinger attended the 28th International Polar Conference in Potsdam 2022, our first international meeting on-site after Corona. On Friday 6th May three PhDs also presented their research at the AK Permafrost online meeting: … [read more]

For this year’s field mapping course, we can finally go back to Sibratsgfäll! This course introduces Hydro- and Engineering Geology students to geological and geomorphic mapping techniques relevant to landslide hazard identification and civil… [read more]

Our group is presenting 9 topics at the EGU General Assembly 2022 (see list below). After two years of virtual meetings, we are glad to take part in numerous different on-site sessions. Take the unique chance now to check out and comment our… [read more]

The TUM Landslide Group is involved in a collaborative effort of Cairo University and TUM to investigate the rockslope stability at the Mortuary Temple of Hatshepsut in Egypt. Ben Jacobs joined Prof. Hany Helal, Dr. Mohamed Ismael (both Cairo… [read more]

We present the first, simple and physics-based general analytical landslide velocity model that simultaneously incorporates the internal deformation (nonlinear advection) and externally applied forces, consisting of the net driving force and the… [read more]

Ben Jacobs co-authored a paper by former Landslide Group member Dr. Daniel Dräbing (University of Bayreuth) on alpine rockwall erosion patterns. The publication shows that paraglacial, frost cracking and permafrost processes jointly drive postglacial… [read more]

We contributed to this extensive publication with electrical resistivity surveys on the two norwegian instable rock slopes Mannen and Gámanjunni-3 in colaboration with many of our european colleagues. We also performed the resistivity calibration in… [read more]

"The Matterhorn looks like an immovable, massive mountain that has towered over Zermatt in the landscape for thousands of years. A study now shows that this impression is deceptive. An international team of researchers has proven that the Matterhorn… [read more]

We are happy to announce our recent publication "Performance Testing of Optical Flow Time Series Analyses Based on a Fast, High-Alpine Landslide". For the first time the optical flow algorithm Dense Inverse Search was used to study landslides. In… [read more]
